my spare wheel winch packed in the other day,so i have replaced the cable and lubricated everything.
the issue i have now is the cable reel is worn on one side so as i lift the wheel it reels back on its self because of the wear.
does any kind person out there have an old winch that may have been replaced by a new one, have a cable reel i could have.
its the part with the spare wheel hole support, the 3mm cable which attaches to to cable reel,
(photo enclosed.)just need plastic reel.the rest of winch works.
i know how much they cost from vw,seat & ford new.cheapest scrappy £40.
if anyone could help...you would be doing me a big favour.
or does anyone know of supplier of these winches or are they just sold as a full unit...
2003 vw sharan tdi.
